Middle Market Matrix (MAX)™ provides many benefits to the Middle Market Investor

  • Access to institutional investment management firms that have traditionally been unavailable due to their large minimum account sizes or high fees.
  • A broad range of alternatives, including multiple managers within each style. MAX provides access to more than 19 investment styles and 85 separate account management products, as well as over 215 mutual fund products.
  • Favorable account size minimums and fees that have been negotiated by Callan.
  • Manager profiles detail the relevant factors used to identify an appropriate investment manager. Descriptions of the organization, investment philosophy, manager style, performance, and risk metrics are included in each profile.
  • Ongoing due diligence, including quarterly reviews of each manager’s performance and risk attributes as well as any relevant changes in the investment team and organizational structure.
  • A Uniform Investment Management Agreement, which provides a streamlined implementation process and relieves you of the burden of evaluating numerous investment management agreements. This contract is between your client and the investment manager, thus appropriately placing the manager’s allegiance with your client.
  • Access to approved custodian banks; a cost-effective means to receive comprehensive, institutional-quality custody services.
  • Flexible implementation solutions; MAX managers offer two sets of terms to middle market investors:
    • The first covers accounts with low size minimums. These accounts are custodied at an approved custodian with servicing, communication, and monitoring provided by a IAG Member Firm consultant.
    • The second set of terms applies to clients that want servicing directly from the manager or that use non-approved custodians.
